Ahead of Jio IPO, Airtel introduces new postpaid plans, hikes prices by 3-11%
Reliance Industries launched an initiative in an ipo & listings development with 8 October in focus.
· LiveMint Companies
Airtel said that the users will be able to enjoy an international trip with free roaming every year with these new postpaid plans, along with all existing benefits, effective 8 October 2026.
Key facts
- Dates in focus
- 8 October
The analysis
Reliance Industries reported movement of -11%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -2.3% on the day at ₹1,179.80, and has returned -7.5% over three months. It sits 26% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved -0.0% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 7.5 points behind its peers.
For Reliance Industries, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Listing activity is a read on risk appetite — a hot primary market usually means a confident secondary one.
Market context
- The company directly in focus is RELIANCE.
- Sector exposure: Oil & Energy, Telecom & Media.
